Buck Mountain Food Pantry

The Buck Mountain Food Pantry serves Earlysville, Virginia and surrounding areas. There is no need to provide proof of income or other documentation to receive. If you are in need, please come!

Do you need food?

On the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month 3–5 p.m., we give out a three-day emergency supply of nutritious food to anyone who needs it. The amount of food given varies with the size and composition of the family.

The Food Pantry takes place at our Parish Hall, just north (away from Charlottesville) on Earlysville Road from the main church.
